Guy Branston Pickle Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Couldn't give a shite how good the football is as long as we're winning games. Now outside the playoffs on goal difference and Mellon has only brought in one player (who is excellent). Very much of the belief once Mellon is able to strengthen we'll make the playoffs comfortably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take a brave chairman to accept a bid for him. Were they giving Fondop grief, the way he celebrated his goal it seemed like he was giving it back to them.

GlossopLatic Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Think a scruffy win was required as not winning at home was becoming abit of psychological barrier for us so now that's been broken hopefully we can start getting some more home wins under our belt. Still believe we are 2-3 players from being a promotion winning team a Mancini like player would certainly make a difference I doubt Hartlepool will be prepared to sell, they look like they are in abit of turmoil and will require a couple of season of transition before they are ready to go back into the football league.

If so use some of it for Mancini, he's clearly not 100% fit yet, but it can be seen he's a quality player.

You clearly can't spot a good player right in front of your nose, any manager in this league would take him. As usual you're still trying to bring me down instead of giving any credit. No wonder you're blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start of September they said he would be out for six months. Made his return on boxing day and did what 30 mins of normal time today. We've had a lot of crocks nursed between games in recent times- I'd want to see him reestablished before I spent money on him. EFL window about to open- I'd be happy for MM to use his contacts and bring a loan or two to the end of the season. We must look a better prospect for a loanee now than last year.

Sloshed Joe Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Probably a ridiculous thing to say, but hey I’m superstitious….does anyone else think it’s better having away fans in the Chaddy than in the Lookers Lower. Even when there’s only 100 of them, having them in the Lookers Lower, close to the pitch and the away team bench - it’s helps to urge on the opposition. Sticking em up high in the Chaddy, it feels a bit more detached and the opposiition can’t feed off the fans energy as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I needed the 2 hour drive home just to calm down, bloody hell that was hard to watch. We could hardly put 2 passes together the whole game, we even threw a throw in straight to them. And what gives with this new tactic of goalkeeper and centre backs playing russian roulette from dead ball situations, pissing about between themselves then wacking it upfield, which the keeper could have done himself in the first place. However we won. And Stone's goal was a cracker. Hudson man of the match, Sutton played well, but in general we were awful. Double M was almost blowing a fuse for most of the game, roaring and gesticulating to our lot. He has probably been on the verge of a heart attack watching that. But 3 points and a win . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people are happy with the situation in the Rocky, stand near or behind the Athleticos or sit either side of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
